This company has some SWEET gauges, especially the TINT, 7 color selectable gauges. They offer a 3 3/4" Tachometer with adjustable shift light, A SWEET DIGITAL TACH shiftlight, or a simple adjustable light that you can mount anywhere.. http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index...ROD&ProdID=140 http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index...TS&Category=23 |

Write to toyota and maybe if they get enough requests they will add a tach for 2008. Then you could buy a cluster for your 2007 if you wanted. Or someone may convince a company to come up with a harness adpater to hookup the seadan cluster into the liftback.
Personally I'm not buying one until they offer a factory tach. I think its just incredibly ignorant to screw us USA buyers by offering a tach in every other country but here. |

i think i'm going to go with one of these: i'm not sure of the quality... i was looking for an autometer.... but i think the coloring(the blue with the orange needle) will match the stock gauges the best... plus it's one of the few 2" tachs

or just mount a single gauge pod by either drilling tw holes and getting a swivel pod (about 6.99 on glowshift.com website) or drill a hole in dash and simply flush-mount the gauge. I'm a big stick-ler for OEM and clean looks, but a black housing gauge with black tinted cover would look very clean... (don't steal my idea, bishes!!!! haha) Quote:
I run them on my SCCA 240SX's and I can say they are ACCURATE, EASY-to-READ at a glance (bright and clear), Easy to install and mount, and are very cheap in comparison to what you will spend elsewhere. but, if you were planning on buying multiple gauges, it might BE BETTER to just get a ScanGauge2 unit which has MANY MANY input readings (oil&water temps, revs, fuel output, etc.etc.etc.)..cost effectiveness. |

well i got it and put it in, just waiting for a mount... anyway, it's a little hard to read if it's bright out, but i plan on tinting the windows... also, there is a color that matched the stock gauges in tge liftback perfectly... i'm happy

Pics
Money shots of my tach install (glowshift 3 3/4")
Not very bright with the sun out but it looks good at night. Overall I'm pleased with the way it came out

ahh..yes, i didn't notice that the bright summer light can drown out the readability of the Glowshift gauge a bit..have you guys tried switching between the 7 colors to see if another color works better during the day? i've got a gauge pod that has a little cover over the top (like traffic lights) that i'm going to retrofit onto the My tach to see if it helps shade the gauge a bit. Also, my gague is in the A-pillar right above the air vent (round gauge pod looks pretty good next to the round air vent about the same size!!) which shades it pretty well as-is..and i've got tinted windows.
Anyway, i'm glad you guys are satisfied with the glowshift gauges..i kinda wish the didn't have the large "GLOWSHIFT" symbold right in the middle i like a clean,simple setup..

finally some pics of my tach installed... i finally got the pod in.... anyway, it wouldn't fit on top of the steering column because it would either hit the wheel when turning or i wouldn't be able to open the compartment... so here you go
